Bottomless pit!

I swear I can eat for days . It's not everyday that this happens but for example like tonight my stomach feels like a bottomless pit. I ate 4 tacos for dinner, drank a whole bottle of water and I'm still hungry ! No. I'm not even hungry I'm literally starving!
Is this happening to anyone else ? And if so what are you doing to help not have that hungry feeling besides snacking on junk?

Usually 2-3 tacos and drinking half my water would be more then enough but not tonight !

  • I feel like the more I eat, the hungrier I get sometimes lol

    Idk what to tell ya except you're not alone! I consume so much more food than I ever used to and I'm still hungry. I've cried many times because after eating onr healthy protein filled thing after the next I'm still starving. Carbs seem to help .. Guess that's why I've put on weight. Now that I'm back behaving and not eating the carbs , I feel like I'm always starving. Which is ridiculous in itself because i am hardly burning any calories because moving hurta. Eating never used go be this complicated..
  • I'm starving all day long, eating every two hours right now at 34 weeks. Didn't start until last week and I hope it lets up soon!
  • I unfortunately have the opposite problem. Most of the time I'm not hungry at all. I've actually lost weight recently. I'll eat breakfast then forget to eat until dinner just because I'm not hungry. My grandma is with us though so it's getting better since she won't be having any of that.

    I unfortunately have the opposite problem. Most of the time I'm not hungry at all. I've actually lost weight recently. I'll eat breakfast then forget to eat until dinner just because I'm not hungry. My grandma is with us though so it's getting better since she won't be having any of that.

    I'm the same exact way lately. No appetite. If it wasn't my mom force feeding me or my hubby not reminding me to eat, I completely forget or just sleep the whole day. I've lost 5 lbs just this week. Of course not on purpose but that's what's happening at the moment. MD says it does happen to some people and is not concerned about 5 lbs but if I loose more, they'll monitor baby more closely.
  • Same here, I am 32 weeks and over the last 2 weeks I have totally lost my appetite. I sit down and force feed myself to make sure baby is getting the nutrients needed. I use to love eating a big breakfast, now I force a banana down me, forget lunch and maybe have a bit of tea with my older children.
    Am not too worried as earlier in the pregnacy I was eating loads and put loads of weight on and my bump was measuring bigger then average.
    Although I do hope I get my appetite back as it can't be good for baby long term
  • Maybe trying to eat more protein will help you not be as hungry. Earlier in my pregnancy I ate every hour or so until my hubby started making me eat more protein. That has really helped me not to be so attached to my fridge.

    I try to eat a lot but can't eat too much in one sitting or it kick starts my rib flare and then I'm confined to bed with an ice pack on my rib cage, like right now :(
  • I eat way too much... I lost 80 pounds last year and it seems it's all coming back..this has only been during my third trimester.
  • I was feeling this way, but my appetite has slowed down in the past couple weeks. There just isn't any room for all the food any more!
